Diabetic diet

People who suffer from diabetes often use a special diet that contains dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, but low in fat (especially saturated fat).
Patients may be encouraged to reduce their intake of carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index. However, in cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose quickly, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate (such as rye bread) to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia. Recent studies have shown that a vegan diet may also be effective in managing type 2 diabetes.
